I recently picked up a Baywatch in really nice shape aside from this issue. On the front right side of the cabinet theres a pretty big split where the front and cabinet side meet one another. I am moving my pins in a few weeks and don't want it to get any worse while moving it.

I've seen a few threads on cabinet separation, but this seems worse/different than that. Any tips on what materials (brand as well)/methods would be useful to sort this out?

Do what the other threads say, which is:

1. clean the crack a best you can
2. put glue in crack
3. clamp the crack closed

4. Then I'd try to reinforce the corner with a brace, gluing it in and clamping while the crack glue is still wet. (you'd need to make/get the parts ahead of time)

5. let glue dry
